- Type is Graphic, Vargraphic, DBCLOB with a non-Unicode CCSID. (Unicode CCSIDs are 1200 and 13488 for Graphic data.)
- Type is Rowid, Decfloat, XML, or CLOB with CCSID 1208.
DateTime fields may require special handling. (Refer to Handling of Timestamp or DateTime columns.)
As IBM i Other Files never have their external definition changed by LANSA, additional columns to support LOBs are never added. (Refer to No additional LOB columns.)
On Windows and Linux, IBM i Other Files are treated as if they are LANSA Files. Some IBM i Other Files that have features not supported by LANSA Files may not build or execute correctly on Windows and Linux.
